60 Minutes per Month Plank Challenge - August 2020

dewit

Going for 100 minutes again.

8/1: 5:00 (roughly 2:00 during HasFits HIIT workout w dumbbells + 4:00 straight, on my own)
8/2: 4×1:00 ups and downs + 1:00 extra
8/3 + 8/4: none
8/5: 6:00
8/6: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1)
8/7: 5:00 (partly during a Tabata abs workout)
8/8: another 5 down 🙌
8/9: planed to do 3min, but kept going for 1 more minute 😊: 4:00
8/10: Tried the planks from here (some I knew, the biceps was a killer!), holding some for 1 min, some for 30s (the biceps for like 20s) https://youtu.be/VH5F-dKoM98
Total: 5 min
8/11: 2:30 min during HasFits workout, then 1:30 while they cooled down 😄🙈
8/12: let's say I took a day off 🤷‍♀️😀
8/13: 4:00 ups and downs (GBC, Day 1) + 2:00 for the fun of it 😀 (can you tell that I'm in a good mood? 😊; no particular reason)
8/14: 7:00 Pamela Reif makes it look easy, but it isn't (to me, at least). Had to go half way through to side planks, then went on like her.
8/15: 3:00. Do pushups count as planks? These 3 min after lifting and doing pushups were a struggle today. Well, that's how we build 💪, right?
8/16: felt like taking a break, so rest day
8/17: thought of planking for 3 min, pushed it further to 4 and ended up doing 5:00 😀
8/18: 5:00 (4 × 1:00 ups&downs, part of GBC Day1 + 1:00 straight arm)
8/19: 4:00 at the end of a kickboxing workout
8/20: long demanding hike, no planks
8/21: none, top tief. No freaking idea why I dont do the planks in the first half of the day 🤨
8/22: 4:00
8/23: 5:00 (Soh's, modified) + 3:00 during tabata (new workout)
8/24: 4:00
8/25: 5:00, then managed to get my 🏋️‍♀️ Day 1 of GBC in and that meant ups&downs, so I did 3 more sets (a 1 min)
8/26: 3:30 during a HIIT workout, then 1:30 as they cooled down 😁
8/27: none, stressfull dans and tired
8/28: 5:00
8/29: 5:00 (Le Sweat on popsugars + 1:00 on my own before cooldown)
8/30: 4:00 combos and since I did my 🏋️‍♀️ session in the evening, I ended up doing 3:00 more of ups&sowas

8/31: 6:00, own mix

I did it (again)! 🤸‍♀️

Total: 125 minutes.

FINAL TOTAL...

PLANK HOLDS: 63 min
WORKOUTS: 5 sessions (no weights)
WORKOUTS: 3.5 sessions (weights)

Up until about 20 min ago, I thought today was AUG30 and that I still had another whole day to complete this challenge. Oof.

As you can see, I failed on the advanced plank workout from Women's Health but at least got the plank holds in.

See you in the next thread!

Yay! Very proud of myself for sticking with this challenge. There were nights I really wanted to skip it but I told myself that it will only get easier and it's only two minutes of my time.

Total 126 minutes.
This was another very mixed month - too many "rest days" (just lazy really)

I need to get back into the habit of getting the planks done in the morning. It's only a few minutes and then it's done.

Saying that, I haven't done today's yet. First day of a new month, start as you mean to go on.
